      Savage is a box-to-box midfielder who loves a tackle and isn’t afraid to get stuck in.
      However, he’s got a bit more to his game in terms of being a creative spark and is a good passer of the ball.
      Last May, Savage was handed a contract with the Red Devils until at least 2025.
      Last season, he made 23 starts for United’s Under-18s and 19 appearances for the Under-23 side. More

      The Red Devils want have been monitoring the situation at the Serie A club after the Italian giants were given a huge 15-point penalty for orchestrating a transfer scam over three seasons.
      This could lead to a move for Chiesa, according to Calcio Mercato.
      The Old Trafford side could see the Italy international as an upgrade on Jadon Sancho.
      Should they sign Chiesa, it would free up in-form Marcus Rashford to become a specialised striker and play through the middle.

      The Turin-based side is 14 points off the pace of Lazio and Inter Milan, who sit on 37 points in 3rd and 4th place respectively.

      Juventus’ new CEO Maurizio Scanavino had admitted that the club is trying to appeal the penalty.
      He said: “We consider this sentence absolutely unjust and unfair.
      “In the coming days we await the reasons, which should arrive by the end of the month, but we will certainly appeal to CONI [Italian Federation of Football] to support our positions, which are very solid and clear, and which had already been successfully accepted in the ordinary process.

      Man Utd icon Roy Keane admits he never warmed to Wayne Rooney and Rio Ferdinand and had a bust-up over watching X Factor

      by

      ROY KEANE revealed he never warmed to Wayne Rooney or Rio Ferdinand in the Manchester United dressing room.The former hardman said he did not get the England striker or team-mate Ferdinand’s banter – and did not miss them after he left Old Trafford.
      Manchester United legend Roy Keane claimed he never warmed to Wayne Rooney or Rio Ferdinand
      Keane, 51, reckoned he was not on the same wavelength as Roo, who is 14 years his junior.
      And that was highlighted during their playing days on a trip to Newcastle where the night before in the hotel Keane was watching rugby league on the TV before Rooney changed the channel to watch the X Factor and hid the remote control.
      Roo – who retired from playing to become permanent Derby manager two years ago – claimed later it led to an argument between the pair and Keane respected him for standing up to him.
      But Keane, speaking on Sky Sports’ The Football Show said: “We certainly didn’t have an argument, let me tell you.
      “I like my rugby league and yeah, someone did change the channel and I wasn’t happy.
      “But we didn’t have an argument about it. I came down for breakfast the next day and Wayne said ‘Did you find the control?’
      “So I told him where to go. If that’s an argument, God help us. I certainly didn’t respect Wayne because he stood up to me and wanted to watch the X Factor.
      “I had a lot of respect for Wayne because I thought he was a brilliant player.

      “I wouldn’t say I warmed to the guy, I certainly didn’t dislike him. But the lad’s on a different wavelength, different banter and if hiding the control was his type of banter then… not for me.”
      Keane made 480 appearances for United in 12 years, but he said: “Near the end, I remember thinking I don’t get some of the boys.
      “I don’t get their banter or humour. I rarely had a conversation with anyone.
      “When I left there were a lot of players I didn’t miss. The game was changing and maybe I was a bit grumpy, a bit old school.
      “I didn’t get Wayne or Rio, I didn’t get their banter or what they stood for sometimes. It was probably a personal thing.
      “The game was changing and I had changed with it but towards the end at United with the players coming through I didn’t always get them.
      “Personality-wise they were not for me.
      “Obviously, they were very good players and I was delighted to play with them but in terms of banter or having a cup of coffee with them? No forget it.”

      That is despite a change of management, with Duncan Ferguson the new boss at the eco-friendly League One basement boys.
      But according to the Manchester Evening News, the Red Devils are keen for another quartet of their rising stars to go out on loan to gain first-team action.
      Erik ten Hag does not plan to use the youngsters in his team in their quest to secure Champions League football next term.
      And therefore the players are in talks to secure temporary exits away from Old Trafford.

      Charlie McNeill has caught the eye of a number of League One and League Two sides and will join a club that can guarantee him regular minutes.
      The 19-year-old striker went on a work experience loan to Sheffield Wednesday last season which permitted him to train but not play official matches.
      Defenders Di’Shon Bernard and Bjorn Hardley are in a similar position to McNeill and are keen to get some action to continue their development.
      United will only allow the duo loan moves if minutes are secured – but could even sell them if the right offer came in.

      Lastly, Zidane Iqbal is another exciting talent gaining plenty of attention.
      Iqbal made his first-team debut in the Champions League draw with Young Boys in December 2021 as Ralf Rangnick also brought Savage, Shola Shoretire and Teden Mengi off the bench – plus veteran goalkeeper Tom Heaton.
      Iqbal has not played since but now trains with the first-team stars and is considered part of the senior squad.
      Ten Hag only has five midfielders more experienced than Iqbal available for the rest of the season following Donny van de Beek’s injury – and therefore is reluctant to risk being left short as the club targets silverware.
